Palm Beach, Florida - Melania Trump recently issued a heartfelt statement after her husband Donald Trump was nearly assassinated, but some are skeptical about if she actually wrote it.

On Saturday, a gunman opened fire at Trump's rally in Pennsylvania, wounding the former president and two others as well as killing one bystander.
On Sunday, over 15 hours after the incident took place, Melania shared a statement on the incident: "A monster, who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine, attempted to ring out Donald's passion."
Critics were quick to point out some of the bizarre wording and phrases she chose to use, and some even posited that she may have used Artificial Intelligence to write it.
The Daily Beast took the text and plugged it into ChatGPT for analysis, which reportedly found "several elements in the letter that might indicate it was written by a large-language model like ChatGPT or a similar piece of software."
The analysis pointed to its repetitive and redundant phrases, lack of specificity, overly formal and polished language, and use of mixed metaphors and clichés.
"While none of these clues alone definitively prove the letter was written by a language model, together they might suggest that possibility," the analysis noted.
Where has Melania Trump been lately?
Melania's statement comes amid her notable absence from her husband's side as he runs for re-election, with the former first lady aggressively evading the press and the public eye.
Her bizarre behavior has sparked speculation about the state of their marriage and how she will take on the role of first lady if her husband wins re-election.
While both Trumps have repeatedly promised that she will soon return to the campaign trail, that remains to be seen.
Melania is expected to attend the Republican National Convention this week, but it is unclear if she plans to speak as she has done in the past.
